~ RATHER DIE THAN GIVE UP ALL HOPE ~
The Eldest Madam was unprepared and surprised. She looked at Su Yuyi with fierce eyes: She naturally knew what her daughter was thinking and more or less guessed why she had invited Meng Yanran over. She initially thought nothing would happen, but she didn't expect that Meng Yanran would act in such a disorderly manner and made half of Mu Yunyao's face was about to be ruined. If the news of this kind of injury were to spread, what kind of reputation would the Su family have?
Su Yuyi secretly held the handkerchief in her hand, her heart full of bitterness. She naturally understood the meaning behind her mother's gaze. She also knew that she had to deal with Mu Yunyao slowly, so she did not lose her sense of dignity. But who would have thought that things would get out of control bit by bit? Now, it messed up completely, and she was really overwhelmed now.
Madam Meng suppressed the anger in her heart. Seeing that Su Qingwu had actually stopped after Mu Yunyao called him, she quickly glared at him, "Why aren't you leaving? Your cousin was frightened and has suffered a nightmare. Wait until she calms down, I will naturally send someone to send her back home."
Mu Yunyao spoke again, not giving the Eldest Madam any face. "Eldest Aunt, you've just come, so you're not clear about many things. At this time, Cousin Qingwu can't leave. He witnessed the whole story, and now he wants to help me administer justice."
"Yunyao, did you get a nightmare as well? What nonsense are you spouting? You have just arrived at the Su family, and my family is very welcoming of you. Your Eldest Sister even specially invited people to come over to speak with you and help you understand the Capital's local customs and traditions. How come you don't know how to be grateful, but you're talking nonsense?"
Mu Yunyao slightly straightened her body, her eyes flashing with determination. "Eldest Aunt, I know you want to keep things quiet. But this time, I put my words here. Meng Yanran overturned the teacup by herself but slandered me for hurting her. She then forged her injuries and took the opportunity to let people break my legs. It's no small matter! Today, after I have resolved this issue clearly, and it's all about giving me justice. If you still can't return my justice, I will find a place where I can speak my reason!"
Madam Meng inwardly sucked in a breath of cold air when she heard this. She looked at Mu Yunyao with a bewildered and uncertain gaze. Madam Menge would never imagine that these words would actually come from the mouth of a country bumpkin girl. She carefully looked at Mu Yunyao's appearance, hoping to see the meaning behind her false bravado. However, no matter how she looked at it, her expression was exceptionally resolute, as if she would rather die than give up all hope."
"Then, according to your meaning, what do you want?" The Eldest Madam looked up at Mu Yunyao, and the gentleness in her eyes slowly disappeared to be replaced by boredom and contempt.
Mu Yunyao and Su Qing Chu came to the Capital and were related to Cao Yunnian. She just a little girl, as long as Mu Yunyao didn't open her mouth and didn't let them leave, the Cao family wouldn't be able to hear anything even if they died in the backyard. She didn't believe a small country bumpkin like her could overthrow the Su family!
Mu Yunyao seemed not to notice the coldness in the Eldest Madam's words. Hearing this, she directly spoke, "First of all, Miss Meng said that her legs weren't scalded at all. Then, why did Doctor Lin help her fake it? Second, since Miss Meng isn't scalded at all, how should this account be calculated for the fact that she slapped me in the face and let someone punished me? Third, Mother and I are going to move out of the Su family's residence!"
The Eldest Madam furrowed her brows. Su Yuyi, who was standing beside her, also lowered her head slightly. She knew that she had done too carelessly in this matter.
"Yunyao, don't be angry. It took so much effort for you and your mother to return to the Su family. Why are you trying to move out just because of a small matter?" The Eldest Madam's thoughts quickly spun, and she gently comforted Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao, however, did not buy it at all, "Eldest Aunt, I have to eat one mouthful at a time, and things have to be resolved one by one. Don't you need to explain to me first why Miss Meng isn't injured, but she wants to frame me?"
Meng Yanran wanted to roll on the ground in pain. She couldn't stand up anymore, so she sat on the floor while rubbing her legs. She didn't look like a lady of a big family. She just wanted to find some water o take a bath quickly and didn't care about anything else.
"What are you still wasting your breath? Hurry up and prepare water to take a bath. Are you really going to ruin my legs? Later on, I will tell my grandfather and grandmother to come and seek justice for me!"
Mu Yunyao spoke neither slowly nor slowly. Her tone was expressly firm and indifferent, "When you've made it clear, there will naturally someone will prepare water for you to bathe. But, if you can't explain it clearly, you only need to endure it yourself."
"I said, I said. I only feel like taking the opportunity to punish you a little, so when I saw you brought the tea, I wanted to overturn the teacup and pour it on your body to make you suffer a little. But I didn't expect the unsteady teacup in your hand to fall onto me. At that time, I felt pain in my leg and thought it must be scalded, so I had to ask you to pay for it.
Who would have thought that when Doctor Lin went inside to check the injury, her legs would be completely undamaged? I thought that I would lose face this time, but Doctor Lin actually helped me fake my wounds, and said that I was severely injured, and had even smeared some medicine on me …"
Su Yuyi's expression was ugly as she stared coldly at Meng Yanran. She had thought that her sister was very arrogant and had an idea, but she didn't expect it to be so useless. With just a few words, she was forced to reveal the truth by Mu Yunyao. But fortunately, she didn't say anything clearly to the end. Otherwise, she is afraid that Meng Yanran wanted to drag it onto herself.
The Eldest Madam was also very annoyed, but when she heard this, she could only reprimand her, "Yanran, you have gone too far."
At this moment, Meng Yanran was in so much pain that she ignored the Eldest Madam and only kept clamoring to take a bath. "I've told you the truth. Where's the water? Prepare some water quickly!"
Mu Yunyao secretly pursed her lips and turned to look at the Eldest Madam. “Eldest Aunt, now that Miss Meng is in so much pain, it’s best to quickly prepare water for her and let her wash the ointment off her leg. That’s right, don’t throw away the gauze used to bandage her. It might even be material evidence.”
At the side, Doctor Lin’sface suddenly turned pale. She raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao with eyes full of fear. “Miss Mu, I didn’t do anything to Miss Meng.”
“You actually dared to help her make up for her injuries. Who knows if you planned this to use as an excuse to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did you harm me, but also Miss Meng?” Mu Yunyao sneered, “Doctor Lin, for someone like you who doesn’t have the heart of a doctor, how can Grandmother be at ease if you stay by her side? I think it’s better to drive you out of the residence as soon as possible. Just in case one day, you will be able to think of something else. After all, it is so easy for a doctor to harm people.”
Lin Yuhan’s face turned white suddenly, and looking at Mu Yunyao’s ice-cold expression, she couldn’t help but kneel down. “Miss Mu, this servant is a medicine girl, so I know a bit more about medicine than an ordinary servant. In reality, I’m no different from a servant. How can she take the initiative to help Miss Meng forge the injury? It’s Miss Meng who ordered me to do this, but I can’t refuse. Please asked the Eldest Madam and Young Miss to more observe.”
